I love this hotel, had an excellent stay, I would come back and recommend for sure! So much character, and the details.. string lights, flowers. The rooms look modern and new yet they kept the older style/character so well. Surprised how good heated tiles in the bathroom make me feel. The staff and service have been perfect too.

I stayed upstairs, constant creaking through out the night, room phone was ringing 0230 and 0330 when I picked up the receiver the line had a cracling sound. Refused to stay in that room and another night. I did not feel safe! Place is haunted. Will never return to this place. However staff were really customer focused.

I had a great stay at Scenic Hotel Cotswold. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the room was clean, tidy, and comfortable—just what you need for a relaxing visit. The location was also a big plus, being close to amenities which made it super convenient for getting around. Overall, I was really happy with the service and the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others look...

A great place to stay, really appreciated the afternoon tea on a wild, wet afternoon. The evening meal was absolutely perfect. The chef created a lovely vegetarian surprise to suit my dietary needs and the beef burger was one of the best my husband has ever had! Very much appreciated.
